A 50-year-old woman from northwestern Indiana who admitted to helping her son smuggle drugs into jail will serve 30 days in a work release program.

The (Munster) Times reports Lake County Superior Court Judge Salvador Vasquez on Thursday gave 50-year-old Dawn Blaskovich of Hammond a two-year sentence, but ruled that after she serves time on work release, the rest of her sentence can be served on probation. She also must do community service.
